"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" ~ Isaiah 55:9. "For the world is mine, and everything in it" ~ Psalm 50:12. "He stretches out the heavens like a tent ~ Psalm 104:2 and Zechariah 12:1. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word" ~ Hebrews 1:3.
He stretches out the heavens like a tent...
We have come to know that at the quantum level, there is a lack of reality and specific location disappears.
One can read that in physics, a quantum (plural: quanta) which is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized," referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization. This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete values. It’s because a photon as a single quantum of (visible) light as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation and can be referred to as a "light quantum". The energy of an electron bound to an atom is quantized, which results in the stability of atoms, and hence of matter in general.
The first to use "quanta" to mean "quanta of matter and electricity", gas and heat was Max Planck. In 1900, Planck discovered the concept of quantization of radiation and later supported by Albert Einstein’s work which suggested that radiation existed in spatially localized packets which he called “quanta of light”.
That is why, at the quantum level, there is a kind of electromagnetic fuzz and what has been referred to as fuzzy logic - an idea largely grounded in Einstein’s theory of relativity and Werner Heisenberg’s theory of uncertainty. Physicists in the science world and including Albert Einstein were essentially looking at something not fully real. Quanta the plural of quantum thus is whatever it needs to be, actualized into something.
I consider it quite
possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept, i.e., on continuous
structures. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air,
gravitation theory included, [and of] the rest of modern physics (Albert
Einstein, 1954).
However, his work on the photoelectric effect confirmed that light energy was only emitted and absorbed by electrons in discrete amounts or quanta. This quanta of light energy soon became known as the 'photon' (i.e. discrete like a particle) and led to the paradox that light behaved both as a continuous e-m wave (Maxwell, Albert Einstein) as well as a discrete particle/photon (Planck, Albert Einstein). So we see that Albert Einstein was partly responsible for the discovery of the particle (photon) concept of light, though he completely rejected the notion of discrete particles.
Since the theory of
general relativity implies the representation of physical reality by a
continuous field, the concept of particles or material points cannot play a
fundamental part, nor can the concept of motion (Albert
Einstein).
I wished to show that
space time is not necessarily something to which one can ascribe to a separate
existence, independently of the actual objects of physical reality. Physical
objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In
this way the concept empty space loses its meaning (Albert Einstein ).
